Title: Video Card works very slow - super duper slow
Post by: BMom on December 31, 2017, 10:23:46 PM

My son says his video card is broken because is works only at the slowest setting possible. 

I recently moved his computer and locked it in my office.  He said that moving it is what broke it.  Is this possible?

I've been asking him to power off his pc and remove the video card then reinsert it.  It is possible that it has shaken lose from its seat. 

Is he correct that moving a large gaming computer can break the video card?  I didn't drop it at all.

Re-seating it is a good idea...i doubt you broke it.

Make sure all power is dis-connected.

Also if it's online games the connection speed may be what is slow...

Another thing to check is that the monitor is in fact plugged into the graphics card not the motherboard graphics.
